Instructions
Cranberry-Pear White Balsamic Glazed Salmon
- Preheat & Season: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Pat the salmon fillets dry and season both sides with salt and pepper. Drizzle with Oliverde Herbes de Provence Infused Olive Oil.
- Prepare the Glaze: In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the cranberry-pear white balsamic vinegar, honey, minced garlic, and dried thyme. Bring to a simmer and reduce the mixture by about half until it becomes a syrupy glaze. Stir in lemon juice if using.
- Bake the Salmon: Place the salmon fillets in a lightly greased baking dish. Brush each fillet generously with the glaze. Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the salmon is just cooked through.
- Finish & Garnish: For extra caramelization, you can broil the salmon for 1-2 minutes at the end. Remove from the oven, drizzle with any remaining glaze, and garnish with freshly chopped parsley or basil.
